- imAiniNe nnv oiig 5 Be it known" that L'AUGUsr DISK, citiot theUnited"States residing atlioganville. 1n the-county of Sank and state ofNisconsin, have invented new and useful lmproveiiients in DrainingDevices. of which the following is a specification.

My present invention pertains to the age of lands that is not onlyinexpensive to produce and maintain but is likewise simple in operationand requires the attention of but one person.

The invention in all of its details will be fully understood from thefollowing description and claim, when the same are read in connectionwith the drawings, accompanying and forming part of this specification,in which:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of my novel draining machine.

Figure 2 is a top plan view of the machine, and.

Figure 3 IS a detailed sectional view of the main beam and the device Iemploy to remove the dirt to permit free flow of drain age.

The invention as set forth in the drawings and specification will befully understood from the following description and in said descriptionsimilar numerals designate corresponding parts in all of the views of.the drawings.

My novel land draining machinery comprises the main beam 1 that extendsapproximately the full length of the machine and at a point slightlyadjacent the center thereof, I provide the brace rod formed 01? iron orsuitable material and provided with the cutting edge 2 as illustrated.

Secured to the beam 1 at an angle thereto at its upper end is a crossrod of iron or similar material and the said rod 3 is pivotally securedat its lower end to the lower end of the rod 2. It will also be seenthat the dirt removing portion 4 is secured. to the lower end of the rod2 through the medium of the pin illustrated clearly in Figure 3.,

- "This dirt removing or rorciag traoa 4 comprises the most imp'ortantfeatur'e of my invention and by preferenceis formed ofiron closed'atiit's endsf'and on onefend it is blunt and at its opposite end it ispointed whereby iitwill plow through jthe ground during opr'at-ion ofthe 'machine. I would distinctly have it understood that the rodorpipe 4urpose."

is a rack S an'd secured to the upper end of the rod 5 is a lever 6having the handle 7 and consequently the pipe or dirtremow ing element4. Manitestly when the pawl of the lever or handle 7 is released fromthe teeth of the rack 8, the lever may be moved in either forward orrearward motion as is desirable when the operator wishes to point thepipe or dirt remover upwardly or downwardly. I

At its opposite. end from the rods 2 and the machine is provided withthe traction wheels 11, preferably two in number, and the said wheelsare secured to the axle shown which is bent as indicated by 12 and thebeam 1 is secured to the bent, portion of the said axle.

Permanently secured to the rod 2 is the draw bar 185 and extending fromthe outer. end of the draw bar 13 tothe free or outer end of the beam 1is a chain 14. i As shown in Figures 1 and 2, I provide the circulardisk having the outer cutting edge and the beam 1 is supported on theaxle of the disk as shown. v

In the practical operation of the machin-' ery, the dirt removing orforcing element t is pushed into the ground to the depth desired. andpower is applied to the draw bar.

This will forcethe pointed end of the por- 100 squarepbut it is thepurpose of this inven- 105 tion to eliminate the'necessit-y of digging atrench and then laying. pipe. With my novel machine, the dirt will beforced to one side and a perfectly open space produced beneath theground in such a manner that it 110 will remain in said position formany years.

The device as before statedmay be raised maybe ofi'anydiametericompa'tiblewithits f or lowered by simple manipulation of the lever 6and during't'h'e operation ofi.the-in.- vention the colter or disk 10 asWell as the cutting edge of the rod 2 will materially asas fairly fallWithin the. scope ofmy appended claim Having described my invention,What I claim and. desire to secure by Letters Patent., is;,

ln means for the purpose; set forth, the combination of a main beam asmall: disk Wheel secured-at a point slightly beyond the transverse;center of the beam traction Wheels secured upon the beam in ,front ot' vthedislqwheel, downwardly extendingbrace greases rods depending fromthemain beam, angle brace rodsisecuredwto the first named brace rods and atan angle on the main beam,

1 beam an arm secured to the movable rod,

a rack mounted onthe main beam and adapted to act as a fulcrum for thearm, a dirt removing log having a pointed end secured toi the brace rodsand movable rod, and a draiv bar mounted on theupper endof certain ofthe, brace I rods.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set .t

my hand in presence of two-subscribing Wit- IIGSSGS.
